Not 100% sold on NoFap yet... what about this approach?

By all means try it, but you'll have to go longer than 2 weeks to feel the benefits. try to go at least a month and see how you're finding it. You will get bad days, but at the end of the month, you be the judge.

 

First of all: Awwww thank you<3

Second: If I were you I would try it for a bit more than two weeks. Try it for at least 2 months, I remember that I just felt like shit the first weeks of trying to abstain, but after a while, I felt more energised etc. (Even though it wasn't a "clean record", that'll say I relapsed, but still noticed changes).

 

I feel you, my first try with NoFap was before I knew about this community, last year in July I think. I got to 13 days and then I relapsed, thinking that the benefits were not "worth it" (in spite of feeling more confident). I was approaching the issue in a bad way, you know, I did not do anything new with the energy and I just thought it would be kind of "magical". Although I think that semen retention and getting rid of porn are really key to a lot of things, I was in the wrong mindset. I needed to wait and do something else.

When I came by this site on December I did some things with my life like getting rid of social media and using the time and energy to my advantage. When I went over one month I started feeling that inner peace that many talk about, and I was ok with many things in my life. When I relapsed on May I understood the changes I had gone through, finally. I binged for some time and my energy faded away so quickly... It was just so bad, the porn I mean, that after every session I felt like sh*t. Also 6 seconds of pleasure in exchange of your potential was not a good trade.

Be open to the possibilities, as @I Need Help said, you be the judge afterwards.

 

You admitted that your past experience with NoFap left you with erection issues. From my experience, that was a precursor to my PIED a couple of years later. So even though you don't see any "hard case" issues now, just know that continued use leads to eventual problems that you'll wish you'd addressed earlier.
